You enlisted in the Navy in September 1987 and served without
disciplinary incident until August 1989, when you received
nonjudicial punishment (NUJP) for ill gal drug usage. You
received a page 13 and were allowed to be retained in service,

pending any further misconduct. How ver, in February 1990, you
received another NUP for drug usage.

On 1 March 1990, you were recommended for separation due to drug
abuse with an other than honorable (OTH) discharge. You waived
your right to counsel and your right|to an administrative

separation board.

On 12 March 1990, the separation authority approved these
recommendations and directed an OTH discharge with an RE-4
reenlistment code and on 15 March 1990, you were so discharged.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth, post service conduct, and the passage of time.
Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were not
sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge
because of the seriousness of your misconduct. Accordingly, your

application has been denied.

The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished
upon request.

It is regretted that the circumstances of your client’s case are
such that favorable action cannot be taken. Your client is
entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon
submission of new and material evidence or other matter not
previously considered by the Board. In this regard, it is
important to keep in mind that a presumption of regularity
attaches to all official records. Consequently, when applying
for a correction of an official naval record, the burden is on

the applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable material
error or injustice.

Sincerely,

W. DEAN PFBIFFER
Executive Director
